> How does the fact that banks hold a fraction of their assets in a central bank put pressure on companies to grow exponentially?
That is not what I would understand by the term "fractional reserve banking". Rather, fractional reserve banking refers to a system where banks do not hold enough liquid assets to cover their obligations. Central banks are completely irrelevant to the concept. The location of a bank's assets are also completely irrelevant to the concept.
